KurveyGirl Blog - Dzus Working LengthWorking Length: Why is that not
the same as the shaft length???
Dzus bolts have their own measuring system. The key measurement
for a Dzus bolt is the distance between the locked position and
the base of the bolt head. In the Dzus world, this is known as the
Working Length.

To get the best fit you need to know two things.

What is the thickness of the bodywork you
want to hold together.

What is the Grip Range of
the Dzus Bolt and Receptacle.

In the above example we used
KurveyGirl.com most common Dzus Bolt, the Panex style. The Panex
Receptacles use between 6.6 to 7.5mm of the Bolts Working Length.
When you subtract the Receptacle Range
from the 12mm Working Length Dzus Bolt, you get the Grip
Range. In this case, the Grip Range is
between 5.4 and 4.5mm.
